On the days my skin feels raw and reactive, this is what I reach for. One calm layer instead of five. — KRIS

Is this for you?

This is ideal if you:

  • Have over-exfoliated or had too much sun and want comfort
  • Have chronically reactive skin
  • Layer multiple actives and want a calm base
  • Want a daily serum rather than a recovery mask

Not ideal if you:

  • Are vegan (snail-derived ingredient)
  • Want a single-mechanism active treatment
  • Have shellfish allergies (consult physician — snail mucin is mollusk-derived)
  • Maybe a better fit for some of these issues: Calming Mist.

Why this formula works

Snail secretion complex

Glycoproteins, glycolic acid, and peptide fractions. A layered, multi-component ingredient rather than a single active.

Asiaticoside + madecassoside

Two isolated triterpenoids from Centella asiatica — among the better-studied botanical compounds for sensitive, reactive-feeling skin.

Panthenol support

Panthenol (provitamin B5) supports the look and feel of a comfortable barrier, alongside the Centella triterpenoids.

How to use

AM and PM

Apply 3–5 drops to clean skin morning and/or evening before moisturizer. Particularly nice during stretches when skin feels stressed.

Frequently asked

Questions, answered

Is this vegan?
No — snail secretion filtrate is derived from snails. The harvesting process is non-harmful to the animal, but if you avoid all animal-derived ingredients, the Calming Mist is a vegan way to soothe reactive skin instead.
How is it different from Hydration Serum?
Hydration Serum is purely hydrating — no actives, universal tolerance. Repair Serum adds active ingredients (snail mucin, Centella triterpenoids) and is made for skin that feels stressed or reactive, not just dehydrated.
Can I use it with retinol or other actives?
Yes. Many people use Repair Serum as a comfort layer before or after retinol to make the routine feel gentler while still using their retinol.
How long can I use it?
Indefinitely. There's no exposure limit — it's a daily-use formula. Most people use it during stressful stretches (after sun, after a heavy skincare week, after introducing actives) and as a daily layer for chronically reactive skin.
